We’d just like to give you an update following our recent ‘call to arms’ to encourage more of our supporters to become members of the Monarchs Fans Trust.
On the evening of 19th July 2024, prior to the match against the Workington Comets, several of the Trust committee members handed out a flyer which provided a ‘potted history’ of the Trust to date plus some information on why its existence is still very much required.
The response was positive and, in some cases, immediate with a healthy number of supporters expressing their wish to become new members, some doing so on the night. To those that joined thank you so much as this now brings our membership back up into triple figures and will assist in ensuring the Trust can continue to support the Club going forward.
The Trust Committee continue to meet with Club representatives monthly and are party to information concerning the battle to keep the Club alive. The main continuing challenge is regarding the crowd size. Whilst numbers have risen slightly in recent weeks, they are still considerably down from a level that would make us all breathe easier.
We know that the Club and sport have provided us with some wonderful memories, entertainment and friendships throughout its history. If we want our Club to be around for many years to come perhaps, we can all play our part in introducing more people to the racing at Armadale.
Do any of our members have any ideas on how to attract new blood to the sport? The Trust Committee and Club would gladly listen to your ideas.
Thanks again to those that recently joined the Trust and to those that are already members. To those that are still considering joining please do not hesitate to contact a committee member or check the JOIN US page of the website for more details.
The Trust Committee will continue to work with the Club and should any of our new or existing members like to join the committee please reach out to us on a Friday night at the track or by using the CONTACT US page.
